  • Hi mummy2my girls remember that you can create listings and save them till it's a good time to list, I'm going to be doing that today (day off work) as I have some items I want to put on tonight (but i have my line dancing class so can't sit and do everything). So you can just do it at your leisure and list them when you want to.

    Hi Ally, definetey get rid of that cc debt (I owe a lot more than that and I wish I had cut them up before it got to this stage so you're doing well to sort it out now), good luck and let us know how you're getting on. and welcome CiciBaltimore and good luck.Scarlett


    Lol thats just the one with the least on it! :S See my signature thought id make myself feel btr by getting rid of the smallest amount first :)

    Looking forward to this challenge getting sorted just now...split my old clothes into - those which can be customised and those for ebay (big piles of both!)

    Good luck to all x x

  • Oh right Ally, lol, if it makes you feel any better I have more cc debt than you (curls up in a ball of shame) trying to sort it out now though - I'm kind of doing the same as you - trying to get £450 to clear argos first as if I don't pay it by March they will add 9 months at almost 30% apr overnight! (deferred interest indeed) anyway come hell or high water we will get there. I went to the post office today and there was some poor guy with over 30 parcels! It occured to me that he might have been one of you lots husbands sent with the weekly sales! anyone owning up to it?

    Hi Scarlett647

    Thanks for this tip, I didn't realise you could do this and so always try to list everything until sat or sun evenings, which is a pain!! I'll check it out next time I'm listing...is it easy to do?

    Looks like everyone is doing really well. I've made the grand total of £4.70 so far :rotfl: but am happy to be on my way. I've also got a bid on one of my ebay items :T , so I'm pleased with that too!
